good morning, I am installing the true duel battery setup and need some guidance on the volt meters. I want all the accessories to turn on with the switches and not be connected to key on power. Can I run the feeds for the volt meters from the true isolater?

Where did you ground volt meter? The directions state an ignition activated ground.

Thanks for the replies. I didn't pay enough attention to the directions to know I needed to use the relay. I got it all going now.

Hello,

I am in the same boat as you. I have dual batteries, and my Aux batt powers a fuse box that does NOT have a Stinger to turn it on, it's always hot. I want volt meters for both my batteries, and would power them from the Isolator. This would cause them to be always on, so I want to switch the grounds. If both the grounds connect to a switch to kill the cycle, i could turn them both on with one switch correct? Power from the batteries, disconnect he grounds.

Then, if this is how I do it, I will not be sure how to wire a rocker switch that lights up when they are on. To keep the switch from being lit up constantly as well.

Thanks for any assistance.

A ground relay and a 5 pin that is only illuminated when it’s on will give you the same function. You can just wire it like anything else.
